In 2002, Albany Guardian Society partnered with the University at Albany’s Center for Excellence in Aging Services to produce a series of community forums on a variety of aging related topics. Little did we realize that these early efforts with Professor Philip McCallion at the Center would be the beginning of Albany Guardian Society’s role as a public convener. Since then Albany Guardian Society has partnered with dozens of organizations to produce community forums on an extensive array of topics. Our forums have been described as “user-friendly” and praised for their content and timeliness. Interested in learning about our forums?
